13 STATISTICS 166 problem drinkers 124 problem drug users 89 problem heroin users 132 new problem substance users

17 Early alcohol/drug use
18 REASON S FOR YP USING HEROIN? I had no idea it would be so addictive And/or: I was drunk
19 School-Based Drug Education Information based approaches Affective approaches including enhancement of interpersonal and communication skills and self-esteem Information based plus affective approaches Psychosocial approaches including peer refusal skills and life skills training Alternative approaches provision of drugfree activities
20 Are young people simply doing what we did? They begin drinking earlier They drink more, more often They now drink spirits VODKA: The spirit of choice for our young women Vodka advertising of e.g., Absolute or Alcopops responsible for 14,900 increase in vodka sales in 20 years and 20% rise in 5 years in UK As alcohol sales have fallen, sale of vodka is on the rise
21 Different effects of alcohol in adults and adolescents Young people are more susceptible to effects related to learning and memory (blackouts) Are less likely to be affected by the sedation effects caused by alcohol Young people are far more likely to experience complete absence of memory with no possibility of retrieval Young people are able to drink for longer than adults
22 How do we assist young people? If we really want to make a difference we are going to have to change community attitudes: If young people are getting different messages from parents and others it is not going to be effective Pouring money into the youth alcohol issue is not going to make any difference if parents continue inappropriate use of alcohol (or drugs)
23 ATTRIBUTES OF YOUNG PEOPLE Some of the attributes of young people that affect how we work with them include: Remember, their brains have not fully developed and in essence, they are missing a part of their brain They feel they will live forever and can take risks without consequences They don t believe what happens to others will happen to them They have a limited attention span and a different concept of time They lack experience of communal responsibility
24 SUMMARY Young people are not a homogenous group different ages, cultural groups, socio-economic status We are still learning about the adolescent brain and young people s capacity to understand risk and so... We need to rethink the way we have provided messages to young people how do they see the world? What messages are they likely to accept?
